Story Behind the Invention
Inventor Robert Laird of Wapwallopen, PA has created a neck-mounted personal eating tray designed to assist a person eating away from a table.
In our fast and modern world people are finding it difficult to take the time to sit at the table and eat. Where it once was the case that families gathered around the dining room table for meals, it is now quite often that many family members areaway from home during traditional mealtime hours. Not having access to a table for eating purposes can become extremely complicated. Spills and crumbs are almost assured, which results in stains on clothing, vehicle upholstery, and carpeting. Inventor Laird designed a means by which people can easily eat while away from the conventional dining table.
This clever new invention consists of a food tray with a lip to prevent spills and an adjustable neck strap to facilitate use by multiple sized users. The tray is designed to easily and conveniently hold food and drink. It can be used anywhere, but would be most useful in automobiles, homes, and hospitals. The use of the Personal Eating Tray provides a simple solution for eating away from a table in a manner that is quick, easy, and effective.
